Show your mounted/framed photographs on the wall...


It’s pretty rare for me to frame anything, but I like this image. I framed it with no glass, which I prefer.
 
A quick tour with the iPhone ...

At home, one wall of the dining room (which is open to the living room), followed by a hallway which is too narrow to be ideal, but it's what we have. A couple of details from the hallway, followed by a shot of the attic stairway wall which has an array of mostly 5"x5" prints in 8x10 frames. Hanging is using stuff from AS Hanging Systems.

I have had two solo exhibits in local places, a non-profit music school and a country club. (Even sold a few at the music school!)


 
Fuji GW680iii.... 16"x20"print on Foma Variant iii, 22"28" frame
 

Very well organised. I just drill a screw in the wall and use repurposed frames with mat board off cuts, very low brow.

I'm pretty embarrassed about the crappy photo of the print I posted to start this thread. Here's one that's a bit better...

You could have told me that you clipped this out of a Lee Friedlander book, framed it and hung it, and I would have believed you. Lovely work.

Thanks. I love Friedlander and I guess his use of poles as a compositional device seeped into my brain.

That guy’s fingerprints are all over much of my stuff as well.

He's amazing. I was just looking through some of his books today. He can do it all - street, landscapes, portraits, still life, nudes, etc. A true master of the medium.

I've had the good fortune of meeting him and Maria twice. I took a shot during our second meeting and brought my copy of Family (not Family In The Picture, but the 2004 Fraenkel publication simply titled Family). Maria was kind enough to autograph her essay for me and he autographed the book as well. I've gone back to her essay many times over the years.
 

I met him briefly at the opening of the 'Signs' exhibition at Fraenkel Gallery a few years ago and he signed my book. I was fortunate to get my book signed before he had to cut the signing short due to arthritis pain.

'Family' is one of the few Friedlander books I don't have. It's a bit pricey but I might buy a copy for myself anyway
 
Ha! We probably rubbed elbows.
 
A few more, actually on a wall this time.

Holgaramas from many years ago. 8x20 inkjet prints in a dimly lit hallway.
